Chapter 175 – 175. The Covenant (2)
=====================
Selmos Kendley is in a dying state after being attacked by the sword of tyranny and the demon slayer.
Both arms were cut off by invisible blades,
His body was burnt by red lightning and turned into well-roasted meat.
A state of disrepair that would not be strange even if he died at any time. However, Marishka brought Selmos Kendley back to life. Just like Catherine, Count Kendley was turned into a vampire by feeding him his own blood.
“The sword of tyranny. Demon King Slayer. Damn them….
Marishka, staring at the scars on her hand that were clearly etched on her own palm, vented her anger with her swearing murmur.
Her wound healed quickly.
However, the anxiety that the sword of tyranny and the demon slayer might have joined hands continued to invade her mind.
‘Druin Lee, Yushin Gilead…. What the hell are these bastards up to? Why are the demon king slayer and the demon king’s former subordinates holding hands!’
As if the sword of tyranny and the demon slayer were in unison, they defeated Selmos Kendley and disappeared in a hurry from Lutemine.
A deep question arose.
Why did the demon lord slayer join hands with that vulgar bastard?
“The sword of tyranny who saw the blood system might have requested help from the Demon King Slayer.”
Marishka, whose doubts were further deepened by the words of her vampire subordinate, screamed, distorting her beautiful face in a grim fashion.
“Druin, why did that bastard come out!!”
The sword of tyranny, Druin Lee, was one of the best assassins in the Demon King’s Army.
In accordance with Agares’ order, she not only killed countless humans, but also showed her loyalty to the demon king’s army by burying the high-ranking warriors and heroes of the Holy Empire.
But why did he
Are you trying to thwart her mother’s plans?
Marishka unleashed her hatred and anger towards her druin by tousling her own hair.
“Even if there are unexpected difficulties, there is nothing wrong with that.”
Savnak approached Mari Shka, who was venting her resentment at her vampire minions.
With her red hair hanging down,
The demon king, wearing a coat that reached down to his calves, looked relaxed unlike Marishka, who felt impatient.
“Vampire, when will the ritual be completed?”
Savnak asked.
At that, the vampire next to Marishka opened her mouth.
“Soon… , No see. Soon, the Valois Kingdom will become part of the Demon Realm Gehana as the vast magic of the blood stones is released throughout the kingdom.”
“That’s it.”
Numerous variables have arisen so far.
However, the Vampire Queen’s plan was solid, and the blood stones were still supporting the blood ritual.
Now we will come to the final stage.
While Savnak ordered the vampires to complete the ritual of bloodshed in a hurry, he had high expectations for a life-and-death struggle with the Demon King Slayer in the final phase.
“Don’t worry. I will deal with all enemies who disrupt the ceremony. That’s part of the deal.”
The ritual of bloodletting must be completed. If it fails, all the subordinates in the clutches of greed will meet a terrible end.
That’s why Savnak had to stop the intruders somehow in order to complete the ritual.
‘How dare you take my men hostage…. I will never forgive you, Grid. When this is over, I will end all ties with you.’
Savnak vowed to sever his dependence on Greed and start from a new base.
Valois kingdom.
This is the realm that will become part of Makai Gehana through the blood ritual.
Savnak had the Kingdom of Valois in mind as a new base. This is because the moment the kingdom of Valois becomes the new demon realm, all conflicts on the continent will be concentrated in the kingdom of Valua.
“Whoa…. Then, as you said, I will focus only on the ritual. Then, I will leave the defense to the demon lord of the heat waves.”
At Savnak’s words, Marishka let out a deep sigh and regained her composure, calming her complicated mind like a tangled skein of her own.
There is nothing to fear.
She didn’t have anything complicated to think about.
Because on this side, the strongest force called the demon lord of heat waves is firmly attached.
Although he had a history of defeating the Demon King Slayer once, the Demon King of Heat Wave was still armed with mighty power and authority.
‘Yeah, there’s nothing difficult about it. It’s enough to use the human knights as throwaways.’
I saw Savnak fighting fiercely with the demon lord slayer while wielding a jet-black heat wave.
So you can trust
The sword of tyranny and the demon slayer will never be able to approach him until the moment the ritual is completed.
“Now is the final stage.”
Savnak muttered as he ran his fingers through the hilt of his scrap metal sword.
The ceremony will soon be completed.
And the moment the ceremony is complete,
The humans of the kingdom of Valois will witness a gigantic monster appearing in the sky that can never be seen with a narrow-minded eye.
* * *
Druin said.
“It’s obvious what these guys are up to.”
Druin, who shrugged his shoulders while snorting, opened his mouth again.
“After turning the kingdom of Valois into the Demon Realm, I plan to drop the oath of the devil and the oath of demons to this kingdom.”
The Vampire Queen’s attempt to make the kingdom of Valua a part of Gehenna, even using extreme methods, was to exploit the loopholes in the pact.
Each of the pledgers cannot interfere or invade each other’s territory.
But,
What if the kingdom of Valois, which was the realm of humans, becomes part of Gehenna?
The Demon Realm is the realm of demons and monsters.
In other words, the moment the kingdom of Valois becomes demonized, the pledgers of demons and monsters can intervene in the kingdom of Valua without being restrained by the oath.
“But what is an oath?”
Allen asked, raising her hand.
To her absurd question, Druin replied, ‘What have you heard so far?’
“A non-aggression treaty agreed upon by all the rulers of the continent who feared the worst possible destruction of both sides… , But in reality, well. Who put the reins on the necks of monsters with the power and danger to sink the continent? It is impossible unless an omnipotent being directly interferes.”
Intervention in the war for supremacy
Interfering with the history of the continent is also forbidden.
The five pledgers are monsters that have a great influence on the balance of power and may even sink the continent. So, the Druin said, speculatively, that the gods had put reins around their necks by force to prevent it.
“God….”
Yushin muttered.
It sounded absurd, but Yushin did not deny the existence of a god.
This is because his body was engraved with the power that proves that there is a god in this world.
If the omnipotent god was concerned about the destruction of the continent, it could be assumed that the oath was to fill the shackles on the five monsters.
“If a person who is enjoying unlimited paid vacations at a resort that no one will ever know has risked the annoyance and personally enforced it, then there must be a reason for that. So, you must be cooperating with us.”
Yushin looked at Druin.
At that, Druin shrugged his shoulders in affirmation.
“Fortunately, you’re not upset.”
“Of course, that doesn’t mean I fully trust you.”
“Do whatever you want. I’d rather just fuck those bats properly. As a bonus, it’s even better if you can guarantee safety from the Demon King Slayer and even get paid.”
Druin demanded a proper and reasonable remuneration from Yushin in return for handing over the information.
Yushin said to him.
“The Kingdom Bank has the assets I have accumulated so far. It would be about the amount of money you can eat and play while having fun with beautiful women who have always been full of life at a summer resort.”
“Okay, contract established.”
Druin, who was captivated by Yushin’s words, asked for a handshake to signify the conclusion of a cooperative relationship with a serious expression on his face.
At that, Yushin put on an unreliable expression.
However, he did not refuse the handshake requested by Druin.
“Realistically, it is impossible to destroy all the blood stones mobilized in the blood ritual. Then there is only one way. Kill the vampire girl conducting the ritual.”
The surest way to destroy a spell is to kill the caster.
That’s the only way to stop it.
Druin said that time might be running out, and he had to move quickly.
“The eldest daughter of the Vampire Queen. Clearly, that pussy is drunk. What did she say her name was…. Sorry, I’m careful not to memorize every bitch’s name.”
“Fuck. You don’t know the most important information.”
“I can see that.”
In response to Yushin’s swear words, Druin nodded his head obediently and admitted his mistake.
“But I know how she was made and eaten.”
Druin began to explain the appearance of Marishka, the eldest daughter of the Vampire Queen.
Dull chestnut hair.
Bright red eyes like blood.
A black evening dress that would be worn by a widow who had lost her husband to a funeral.
At that explanation, Allen glanced at Yushin.
“I’ve seen it. I know the face.”
“You?”
“I blew my face yesterday.”
“Ah. That weakling vampire….”
Her vampires, including Marishka, specialized in mind-binding sorcery and black magic through vampirism.
But she didn’t work for Allen.
Not only did it have the power to deflect the vampire’s long-term mental restraint magic, but the skin that blocked even the mana blade was strong enough to break the vampire’s fangs.
“For now, that’s all I know. After all, it’s all down to luck. What, don’t people say don’t be new to the world?”
“Luck? Nothing in this world is determined by luck.”
Taking the words of the optimistic Druin, Chin Yushin prepared to infiltrate Rutemine with his men as they checked their armaments one last time.
Time is running out.
He intuitively knew that the life of the kingdom of Valois was at stake.
Even if the corrupt and incompetent royal family is brought down by the citizens who have not overcome poverty and starvation,
I will never let demons intervene.
And he vowed that the human home would never be taken away by the devil.
“Brother!”
Allen shouted loudly.
While checking the armament,
As if sensing something in her, Allen shouted loudly, and she informed Yushin of her danger.
And soon after, Yushin, like Allen, sensed the danger. She shouted loudly to her knights, who were clad in her chain mail, instructing them to prepare for the impact.
“Hold on to something right now!!”
As soon as Yushin’s words were spoken, the earth began to vibrate from Rutemine to the nearby area.
The sound of the earth. Tectonic shift.
A phenomenon commonly referred to as an earthquake unfolded.
The red rays that were shooting towards the sky finally reached their limits. Then, as if flowing backwards, the direction of the force that had been concentrated in one place was twisted backwards, and it began to fall like lightning toward Rutemine.
Woo woo woo woo woo.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu!
A red backlight began.
Finally, the time has come for the blood ritual to be completed.
Rutemine, which was called the city of light, was dyed by the terrible red backlight created by the vampires, and all the monsters in the world looked up to it like a god and awaited an existence that they feared.
